   3   KEE    Perryville (GIII)           

$300.000     3yo      7f  Dirt         122lbs  


The Fall Meet continues, here at the most beautiful place on Earth, and we look at the field for the Perryville (GIII).  This is a seven-panel sprint for the sophomores, and we have a full gate of twelve set to do battle on the main oval, at KEE.  There’s a ton of possibilities here, but I’m headed to the outside and will give Raging Heights the edge today.  He looked good winning by a nose vs. stakes company at SA in hs most recent, so that’s back-to-back wins… enough for me to give him the nod.  I’ll look for Capiche to bounce back today… this is his second shot at a sprint distance after being on the TC Trail and running vs. top-notch-company at classic distances.  I’ve got a feeling he gets back after it today.  In similar idea… I’ll put Axel Grinder on the bottom of my trifecta.  He won the Curlin before that tiring fourth in the Travers (GI), so class is not question… can he move it over to a sprint?  I think he does.  The Card sees it different, so I’d look at their picks if you plan on wagering.
